Citation Integrity API™
Bring Citation Integrity into your systems
The CiteAbility API is designed to make Citation Integrity information programmatically accessible. For businesses today. For AI infrastructure tomorrow.
Available with qualifying Enterprise implementations. Agency API capabilities are considered separately where supported.
Today
Business and enterprise applications
Organisations may use the Citation Integrity API™ to integrate information into:
- Internal dashboards
- Reporting systems
- Governance platforms
- Monitoring workflows
- Content systems
- Enterprise applications
Tomorrow
AI infrastructure applications
The longer-term API opportunity extends to:
- AI providers
- Enterprise RAG systems
- Retrieval platforms
- Answer engines
- AI agents
- Knowledge systems
Citation Integrity information could serve as an additional input when systems evaluate candidate information or evidence.
Boundaries
CiteAbility does not dictate AI outputs
The Citation Integrity API™ provides information. It does not instruct an AI provider what it must cite.
The external provider remains responsible for:
- Retrieval
- Ranking
- Citation selection
- Answer generation
- Policy
- Model behaviour

Proprietary methodology
Built around proprietary methodology
API outputs may expose Citation Integrity information and permitted Dimension-level data.
They will not expose proprietary scoring formulas, weights, underlying internal signals, thresholds or decision logic.
